Yubu-jima Taketomi-cho, Taketomi hotel rooms at the Independent

"The hotel have a small pool, around 5 min walk to the beach, "

"The hotel occupies a lovely sunset beach, swimmable in both high tide and low tide. Good food, good aircon, comfortable large rooms facing the sea, convenient parking. Diving around is pleasant although no dive centre in the hotel - several dive centres nearby (eurodivers, seajack, viking)"

"The hotel was super conveniently located in central ishigaki, the room was decent and the coin laundry was a great amenity. The room had lots of options for hanging items to dry (which was super appreciated given all the snorkelling to be done). They have complimentary drinks including awamori in reception in the afternoons which was a nice touch. There is also an onsite onsen (but did not get to use) only minor criticism was they had very limited hours for the pool, typically after a day roaming around the town in the heat a dip in the pool would have been nice ~ 4.30pm but was already closed for the day. Excellent car rental across the road as well. Would stay here again."

"The hotel is beautiful and well located on the beachfront. We had a stunning view. The room was spacious, clean and beautiful. The only thing we were very disappointed in was the poor level of English in the reception area. It was painful and at times impossible to inquire about anything. They have a service app that was helpful with most things but when it wasn’t working or it wasn’t a simple matter and you have to go through reception it is very difficult. "

"デザインが開放的ですてきです。高層階にあるカフェから海まで一望できます。 何泊かした際には、簡易掃除、掃除しないことで割引を受ける選択肢があることも、非常にいいなと思いました。ビーチへのバスもあり、助かりました"

"Lovely place and wonderful view"

"Staff are nice, room is clean, all other areas are so clean as well. Breakfast is so good every day. Had stayed there 3 times and never be disappointed. Only 5 minutes away from Miami-Cho area , so many options to choose from for dining. "

"We loved the layout of the Superior Bunk room for a family with teenagers. Pool and sauna areas were a highlight and a beautiful place to relax. The restaurant was a little pricey for Japan, but the food was excellent. If you have a car, I highly recommend this hotel. "

"If there were more options for dinner with small child it’ll be better."
